I got banned from Reddit for stating that “all murderers should be executed,” which is literally a policy position. I think online free speech is not long for this world which will leave the voting booth the only remaining anonymous forum. I expect many more “how the %%*$& did THEY win?!” elections.

Nothing is stopping you from hosting your own website, publishing your own leaflets, making your own podcast, etc... stating those views.

Frankly this has little to do with the parent post.

Every modern attempt at starting competing services to major online forums has met with:

-A firestorm of slander from media outlets controlled by competitors. -Cartel-style harassment and denial of basic services required to run the site, hosting, financial, etc, again, by competitors.

Competition is not a solution when the game is rigged. People literally are "stopping you," and they are some very powerful, influential people at that.
